How to open a gym

There can not be many gyms in the modern metropolis - most of all people value the ability to maintain good physical shape without moving far from their habitat, which means that even several multi-storey buildings near the newly opened fitness club are likely to provide him with a sufficient influx of visitors.

You will need

• - a room on the ground floor with an area of ​​100-200 square meters;

• - registration of IP, permits from the fire inspection and Rospotrebnadzor;

• - A set of sports equipment professionally installed, with the possibility of warranty service;

• - 2-3 trainers working on an hourly pay system.

Instruction manual

1

Start by looking for a room suitable for a small gym, after having thoroughly studied the life and customs of the inhabitants of your chosen area. If among them young families, leading an active lifestyle, predominate, and not a single sports club is nearby, then the place has undoubtedly been chosen successfully. The minimum area required for the equipment of the gym is 100 square meters, but it is better, if possible, to rent a room twice as much.

2

Register your undertaking when the place and premises for the sports club are already selected - it is enough to simply arrange an individual business. Mandatory licensing for the fitness club is not required, but you will have to deal with the fire department and Rospotrebnadzor - it’s necessary to coordinate the facility’s equipment even at several stages of preparing the center for opening.

3

Order equipment for your gym, focusing primarily on its quality, as good fitness equipment is a direct guarantee of the success and prosperity of your club. Try to negotiate with the equipment supplier on the qualified installation of simulators and their further warranty service. The purchase of simulators at the start of your club will be the most expensive article, but you should not save on equipment purchase in any case.

4

Organize the search for qualified personnel for your fitness center - it is not so easy to find truly experienced and qualified among the many trainers. Try to accept instructors to work on recommendations, and subsequently conduct surveys among your clients, determining the degree of their satisfaction with the level of skill of a particular specialist. Choosing an administrator for a sports club is much simpler, but at first it’s better to take on this role.

Useful advice

Over time, try to expand the range of services provided in your institution - equip a tanning salon, a massage parlor, and a mini-hairdresser with a manicure in the club.

Enter into a lease only for a long period of time, not agreeing with the offer of the owner of the premises to rent an area for a year, and then extend the lease term - the owner will be able to refuse you at almost any time if his plans change.
